Laser Notices
Laser Safety (100 - 127 V Model Only)
This printer is certified as a Class I laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means
that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
FDA Regulations (100 - 127 V Model Only)
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented regulations for laser products manufactured on and
after August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The label shown on
the back of the printer indicates compliance with the FDA regulations and must be attached to laser products
marketed in the United States.
Caution: Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Safety Information
IMPORTANT - For Your Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power
outlet/socket which is properly grounded/earthed through the normal standard wiring.
Extension cords should not be used with the equipment. If it is essential that an extension cord has to be used, it
must be a three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding/earthing. Incorrectly wired extension
cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded/earthed and that the
installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding/earthing of the power,
call a qualified electrician.
This product should be connected to an AC power source within the range indicated on the rating label. DO NOT
connect it to a DC power source. If you are not sure, contact a qualified electrician.
Disconnect device
This printer must be installed near an AC power outlet/socket that is easily accessible. In case of emergencies, you
must disconnect the power cord from the power outlet/socket to shut off the power completely.
Caution for batteries
Do not replace the battery. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not disassemble,
recharge or dispose of in a fire. Used batteries should be disposed of according to local regulations.
LAN Connection
Caution: Connect this production to a LAN connection which is not subjected to over-voltages.

must be a three-pin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding/earthing. Incorrectly wired extension
cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded/earthed and that the
installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding/earthing of the power,
call a qualified electrician.
